Clint Robinson has elected free agency.

Robinson spent his entire 2017 season at Triple-A Syracuse, slashing .242/.315/.424 with 18 homers and 74 RBI in 132 games. Given his power potential, he should be able to secure another minor league deal. Sat, Oct 21, 2017 03:19:00 PM

Robinson cleared waivers and has decided to accept an outright assignment rather than elect free agency. He's nice depth to have around and could get a shot at some point this season. Fri, Mar 31, 2017 05:42:00 PM

Nationals placed 1B Clint Robinson on outright waivers.

If Robinson goes unclaimed in the next 72 hours, he'll have the option to report to Triple-A Syracuse or be granted his release. Robinson had been competing with Adam Lind for a backup job at first base. Now that Lind is safely on the team, it looks like Washington's final bench spot will go to either Michael Taylor or Wilmer Difo. Tue, Mar 28, 2017 03:13:00 PM

Clint Robinson delivered a three-run double and walked during Sunday's game against the Marlins.

Robinson is auditioning for other teams following the Adam Lind signing, but he's just 6-for-34 this spring and he's yet to homer. There's a good chance that he'll clear waivers at the end of the spring. Sun, Mar 19, 2017 04:46:00 PM

Nationals catching prospect Raudy Read has been suspended 80 games without pay for testing positive for a performance-enhancing substance.

Read, 23, tested positive for Boldenone, a drug that is on the list of banned PEDs under Major League Baseball's Joint Drug Prevention and Treatment Program. The suspension will be effective at the beginning of the 2018 regular season. Read hit 17 homers with a .767 OPS for Double-A Harrisburg in 2017 and received a September callup to the Nationals after his minor league season was completed.

Nationals manager Dave Martinez said Friday that Daniel Murphy (knee) is "right on target" with his rehab.

The hope is that Murphy is ready to go on Opening Day following a debridement and microfracture surgery on his right knee last October, and so far he's on track. Of course, things could change as Murphy goes through drills and spring training games, so keep a close eye on how he looks in Grapefruit League action.
